Daylight Savings ends in November. Do you think there should be daylight savings? How does the time change impact you?
Daylight saving time (DST), also referred to as daylight saving(s), daylight savings time, daylight time (United States and Canada), or summer time (United Kingdom, European Union, and others), is the practice of advancing clocks to make better use of the longer daylight available during summer so that darkness falls at a later clock time. The first implementation of DST was by Port Arthur (today merged into Thunder Bay), in Ontario, Canada, in 1908, but only locally, not nationally. The first nation-wide implementations were by the German and Austro-Hungarian Empires, both starting on 30 April 1916.
Since then, many countries have adopted DST at various times, particularly since the 1970s energy crisis. DST was first implemented in the US with the Standard Time Act of 1918, a wartime measure for seven months during World War I in the interest of adding more daylight hours to conserve energy resources. I think it was a Native American leader who once said Only a paleface would think that cutting off 2 inches on one end of a blanket and sewing it on to the other end would make it longer”.
Living in India it hasn’t affected me much, except that working for an MNC since 2015, we adjust our work shift timings according to the day light savings times in ether North America or the UK. That is the maximum it has affected me.
